SystemCore Vision System connecting to an External NT Server?

[allengregoryiv]

We wanted to test the SystemCore Alpha vision system and see whether we could connect a SystemCore as a vision processor to a roboRIO.

Is the vision module's NT server address hard-coded to localhost on the SystemCore, or can we change it?

Brandon can better answer if it can be changed, but if it can't you can easily build an NT app that can forward the data to another NT instance, and that can be a client.

One thing to note if you do this is to make sure to not set the team number on Systemcore to match your team. If you do so, and have a roboRIO and Systemcore on the same network, the NI DS will randomly pick which robot controller to connect to.
